Forest Conservation
The woodlands of the Cairngorms are of national and international importance because they contain the largest remaining areas of semi-natural woodland habitats in Britain.
The Cairngorms area occupies just less than 10 per cent of Scotland's land mass, yet contains 25 per cent of the entire Scottish resource of native woodlands and its Caledonian pine woodlands are greater in total area and individual size than anywhere else in Scotland.
The extent of native woodland is important for many specialist species of plant, animal and fungus that depend upon this habitat.
